Tracking chemical pollutants in your body
In our lives, we are exposed to many chemical pollutants such as PFAS or UV filters. These chemicals are used in cosmetics, toys, or food packaging materials. But we don't really understand how they affect the human body because we don't have a clear picture of how they interact in the body. This is why Andrea Rodriguez Carrillo (VITO - KU Leuven) wants to follow the journey that chemicals take from the moment they enter your body.
